Operation of Generator
HOW TO USE YOUR GENERATOR
(continued)
OUTPUT AND OVERLOAD INDICATOR:
The GREEN Output Indicator Light will illuminate at normal operating conditions.
The RED Output Indicator Light will illuminate when the generator is overloaded, if there
is a short circuit in a connected appliance, or if Low Oil Alarm System has been tripped.
If the RED Output Indicator Light illuminates, STOP the engine and determine the cause
of overload by:
•
Checking the appliance(s) for proper operation, electrical shorts, and
malfunctions. Also ensure the generator has the ability to provide the required
starting and running watts of the connected appliance(s).
•
Ensuring all appliances are in the “OFF” position upon starting the generator.
Only start the connected appliance(s) when the GREEN Output Indicator Light is
illuminated and the generator is providing the necessary power to run the
connected appliance(s).
LOW OIL ALARM SYSTEM:
This model is equipped with a Low Oil Alert System designed to avoid engine damage
from insufficient oil in the crankcase. The Low Oil Alarm System will stop the engine
automatically before the oil level in the crankcase drops below safe operating levels.
This will cause the RED Output Indicator Light to illuminate. Though the engine will stop
running, the ignition switch will remain in the “START” position. Turn to the “STOP”
position.
